Was not the A.S. intended to simply thwart people from suing the UPCI? So that would mean they really do not care unless you want to sue them some day.

We, as a movement, have evolved into a resolution-writing bunch...we've almost become fasinated by it...we've got to get our focus back onto soulwinning and evangelism - first and foremost.
PS. Neckstadt...Schlitz made Milwaukee famous...not so much the Brewers.

Why not ask those who are so adamant they cannot abide by the bylaws to simply turn in their licenses?

So when the resolution was introduced on the floor of the GC in 1992, several questions came from the floor asking how the GB had voted on the matter. A member of the GB, a great man, took the mic and said "90 - 99% of the General Board supported the resolution."
I walked into that meeting with my elder and we were both set to vote against the Res. - if it even came to a vote. My elder didn't think it would get that far. After the General Board member "fibbed" we both ended up voting in favor. Yes, I vote for the resolution in 1992, to my shame.
The next January at the Winter Meetings, the dissenters forced a vote. They felt that they had been grossly betrayed by their brethren. The exact tally was never released but members of the GB have reported it as being something like 60-40% in favor (one man said a third was against). If such a large number of GB members had been reported as being in dissent the AS resolution would have gone down in 1992.
At the very next GC, the great man who had "fibbed" tearfully apologized. He said he was not only sorry that he had said anything, but that he wished that the whole resolution had never even been brought to the conference.
In the words of the Resolution's author, our movement had a "bowel movement" that day in 1992.

Why have the AS? What purpose does it serve?

To stop lawsuits when someone tries to sue the UPC 's retraction of ministerial license when a minister violates the articles of faith.
